Football in the city of Fuente de Cantos already existed in the 1950s, with amateur clubs Tigre CF and CD Zurbarán. In 1958, both clubs and another side named Acción Católica merged, originally creating UD Fuente de Cantos. The club started playing youth competitions in the 1960s, but their original foundation date was set in 1975, the year of the club's registration in the Extremaduran Football Federation.[1]
After playing their first eight seasons in the regional leagues, Fuente de Cantos achieved a first-ever promotion to Tercera División in 1983. Relegated in 1989, the club only returned to the division in 2012. Relegated again in 2017, the club returned to Tercera in 2019.[2]
